"It's a good point, but of course we could have won. We were organised, solid and brave to put our barriers in front of the ball.

"We stay humble, we came from the Championship and don't take our feet off the ground. Arsenal were not able to play the way they usually do so credit to the boys, they always covered and helped each other.

"When we had the ball we were threatening and created chances. The way we managed possession and created so many chances, against a very good team in a difficult stadium, is a credit to our players.

"It was an improvement from last Saturday, so let's work hard over the internationals and try to do better."

Leno played a key role for Arsenal and without him the Gunners arguably could have suffered a comprehensive defeat, and coach Unai Emery took note of the German's display.

He said: "We knew that today we needed the goalkeeper with his performance, because when we are taking risks in our attacking moments, and to give them a transition and options in the transitional moments, we would need the goalkeeper. I thought his performance was good for us."
